- In stock, ready to ship
- Inventory on the way
A dress made for those that want to disappear into the woods, feeling the earth all around them, hugging their body close.
Each panel on the skirt has been dyed using locally foraged leaves: Wild Rose, Oak, and Maple, and then stitched together completely by hand using silk thread. The pocket has been dyed with Eucalyptus from the florists floor. The top has been dyed using Labrador Tea Leaves collected from beside the Canmore spring.
All the fabric for this dress is up-cycled cotton, including the vintage doilies.
This dress is 47 inches form top to bottom, and 37 inches at the waist - with no stretch. Would best fit someone who wears small or medium.
The model is 5’4 and typically wears a size 8 dress.
